I hate first-name last-name fields.
Chinese (among others) have their names ordered "Family-name, middle-name, given-name". And some cultures have only one name. And you just know that it's going to go into a terribly localized "Dear Mr. X" template". And unicode characters will probably get truncated out.
Here's an alternative: Full name, Short name (optional), Formal name (optional).
